Lets face it, our trucks even being supercharged are pigs out the hole.
i totally agree that launching in the power band would make a huge difference in the 1/4 mile and 0-60 times compared to lauching at 1000 rpm where there is as much power. unfortunately, i spin even if i dont launch at all (just mash the pedal at GO)

that high stall TC can make a huge difference, but now you need to do mods to help traction. maybe if you can get by on 8 psi with the stock fuel system, you can use the money you save toward a set of lightweight wheels and some drag radials, and some traction bars and driveshaft loop. heck those mods may give you more of an increase in speed than the +2 psi

of course these mods only help with launching at the strip, the added boost will give better acceleration at any time
